We love lasagna around here. It’s our go-to holiday meal and it was even the first thing I ever cooked for Mr. Meaty back when we were dating (yes, the “real” meat version just for him).
So, when I saw this fantastic-sounding Lasagna Soup recipe, I had to give it a shot. Tomato soup with creamy cheese and noodles? Yum!
I found this beautiful Lasagna Soup and converted it to veggie “beef” and made it into a CrockPot recipe. You can use homemade ground beef substitute or your favorite store-bought variety, like Quorn. I’m so glad it’s Slow Cooker season again! Hooray for easy CrockPot meals!
